But.
One of the lines goes like this:
"Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing.
We're just one big family.
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved, loved, loved...."
ExCUSE me? Godforsaken? Is it possible he's effing with me? Is the whole song ironic? I can't be the only one to have noticed this, and presumably someone along the path to getting this song produced suggested that maybe, though he keeps using that word, it does not mean what he thinks it means.
god⋅for⋅sak⋅en
–adjective (sometimes initial capital letter
)
) | 1. | desolate; remote; deserted: They live in some godforsaken place 40 miles from the nearest town. |
| 2. | wretched; neglected; pitiable. |
Synonyms:
1. bleak, dreary, lonely. 2. forlorn, miserable.
It's really cast a pall on my enjoyment of the song, frankly.
I'm Yours,
Jenny

hmmm could have been a weak "play on words" or it could have just been sloppy songwriting. I remember reading an interview with the band SugarRay, about their song "I just wanna fly" which had a lyric that read "...and my mother god rest her soul" .... which the band didn't realize would lead listeners to think that the singer's mom had died...
